• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Leader of the Majority Party has brought in a very important point. It is actually in the Bill but the way in which he has raised it might create the perception that women who will be contesting for political seats will be given money under this Bill. The correct impression is that political parties that will bring in special interest groups will have an incentive as far as division of the political parties fund is concerned. Eighty five per cent of the Political Parties Fund will be shared out proportionately while 15 per ... view

• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to support this very important Motion. Allow me to thank the Hon. Member for Kisumu County, Hon. Rose Nyamunga for introducing this Motion which is very important and timely, given what is happening within our fishing industry currently. Homabay County which I represent in this House, is largely a fishing county.

• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Protecting and nurturing fishing industry is therefore paramount to us. We would like to see the same interests that the Government has in coffee, tea and miraa extended to fish. Let me thank view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Newspaper for bringing to the fore the fact that we are now eating imported fish which is Kshs30 per piece. There are difficult questions that must be answered by the Government. For instance, who is this East African Sea Food that is importing fish worth Kshs30 per piece into a country for our people to consume? Is this fish good?

• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me jog the memory of this House. The so-called East African Sea Food, we must unveil it. We must know who owns East African Sea Food. If you go back to the HANSARD of this House, 21st November, 1995, we see that in 1993, the East African Sea Food exported 2.5million kilogrammes of Nile Perch, worth Kshs 306million. In 1994 the East African Sea Food exported 305 million Kilogrammes worth Kshs427million. About a million shillings of fish exports, yet in 1995 there was a question in this House that they paid no taxes. In fact, ... view

These are questions that must be answered. A committee of this House must tell us who these people are and whether they paid those taxes that they were meant to pay in 1995. After over-fishing our lake and exporting that ... view
